Common Ground, 405 W. 4th St. Prices are
the same as last year - $30 each for members

across a deal on used totes. These hold over
275 gallons and are roughly a four feet cube.
We’ll be selling these for $70, but because of
these size, we need to know well in advance.
They fit easily in the bed of a pick-up truck.
